Watch Me Win, Alpha

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Jimson had the gall to furrow his brows in concern. “I hope she’s all right… that poor girl.”

I watched him carefully and decided to test him.

“She is,” I said flatly. “She was found an hour ago.”

A single blink. No twitch. No shift in weight. Just that same

damned smug confidence.

Jimson remained eerily calm.

Too calm.

“Why are you acting like Olivia’s disappearance is the end of the

world? Are you that scared? Or is it that you care too much?”

Her voice was high–pitched and hysterical, a mix of rage and

confusion.


I didn’t raise my voice. “Do you even know what she was doing

here? What she found?”

Jess scoffed. “She’s a secretary. She’s been here forthree days.

Why would anything she says matter?”

I walked forward slowly, each word clipped and deliberate. “That secretary uncovered something you’ve failed to detect in two years. She was doingmyjob. She disappeared onmywatch.”

Jess clenched her fists, her face crumpling with disbelief.
